On Tuesday, a scum-sucking, maggot-infested putrid piece of pale pig flesh cleverly disguised as a Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoonist with the Washington Post, (with apologies to maggots and pigs everywhere) posted a cartoon depicting the two young daughters of Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, as monkeys.

The disgusting cartoon was apparently in response to a parody ad in which Cruz read to his children.

That was all Ann Telnaes needed to attack his children.

Here’s her tweet — which was deleted about the time this post was published:

She wrote:

Just so you know, these are the two little children Telnaes depicted as monkeys:

The Post apparently came under heavy fire for the blatantly racist and despicable cartoon and pulled it with this explanation:

Editor’s note from Fred Hiatt: It’s generally been the policy of our editorial section to leave children out of it. I failed to look at this cartoon before it was published. I understand why Ann thought an exception to the policy was warranted in this case, but I do not agree.

According to the Post, Telnaes won a “Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning in 2001.”
